The Book of Umbanda
This volume serves as a comprehensive academic resource for both students of spirituality and scholars of world religions. Umbanda, a prominent Brazilian religion, emerges as the largest indigenous faith in the Americas, shaping numerous syncretic traditions such as Santeria, Obeah, Vodou, Candomble, and Spiritism. In *The Book of Umbanda*, David Barreto offers a scholarly examination of the religion's development, tracing its historical and anthropological origins from 19th-century spiritualist practices like s矇ances and turning tables, to its deep connections with West African oracle systems and cults predating European contact with the Americas.Through a blend of ethnographic research and personal immersion in spiritualist centers in both Brazil and the UK, the author presents a nuanced study of Umbanda's philosophies, rituals, and theological frameworks. Barreto's insights, enriched by direct participation in these religious contexts, provide an authoritative and experiential understanding of the faith. This work outlines the full doctrinal scope of Umbanda while also offering an intricate analysis of its pantheon of deities and spiritual entities, making it an indispensable reference for those studying comparative religion.Moreover, the text provides detailed explanations of the practical and symbolic elements of Umbanda, including temple layouts, altar arrangements, and the religious use of objects such as herbs, stones, candles, and ritual offerings. These elements are explored not only for their ritual significance but also for their broader extraphysical and symbolic meanings, lending a deeper understanding of their role within the religious framework.Barreto also engages with the mediumistic practices integral to Umbanda, offering a clear and scholarly presentation of spiritual channeling. His treatment of this subject balances critical analysis with a neutral tone, making it accessible to both practitioners and academic observers. The mechanisms of mediumship and its role in Umbanda services are dissected with precision, providing both an in-depth theoretical perspective and practical guidance for mediums.Unique in its accessibility, the book translates key religious terms and concepts into English without losing their cultural significance. Barreto avoids exoticism and ensures that the terminology resonates with a non-Portuguese-speaking audience while maintaining fidelity to Umbanda's traditional meanings. This linguistic precision allows non-native practitioners and scholars to engage with the religion in a more profound and authentic way.In sum, The Book of Umbanda is a scholarly and insightful exploration of the religion's history, doctrines, and spiritual practices, offering a rigorous and engaging resource for both academic study and spiritual inquiry.

Eight Journals
Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook (1865-1935), first Chief Rabbi of the Holy Land, was a brilliant thinker and mystic whose ideas explored deeply modern philosophical and social currents. All topics-from poetry to war, from divine immanence to nationalism and universalism-caught his attention and were refracted through his ever-searching mind and soaring soul. Rav Kook's major works- Orot, Orot Hakodesh, Orot Hateshuvah, and others-were compiled from his journals, which he wrote over a period of fifteen years. When eight of these were published in 1999, they provided an unprecedented look into the progress of his thought, revealing many hitherto unpublished teachings, and preserving readings that had been changed by his editors. These Eight Journals may fairly be considered the motherlode of Rav Kook's teachings. The Translator "Yaacov David Shulman is a master translator who is able to capture the language, the poetry and the beauty of Rav Kook's Hebrew."-Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President Emeritus of the Orthodox Union. "Mr. Shulman's translations are accurate and clear, forthright and poetic. Mr. Shulman displays a sensitivity to the nuances of Rabbi Kook's often subtle teachings, and an ability to convey to the reader the passion and dialectical balance in those writings."-Prof. Howard Schwartz, three-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award, author of Leaves from the Garden of Eden, Tree of Souls, etc.

Christianity and Monasticism in Upper Egypt: Volume 1
Studies in Christianity in the Sohag region of Upper Egypt by some of the world's leading Coptic Studies scholars, new in paperback Christianity and monasticism have flourished along the Nile Valley in the Sohag region of Upper Egypt from as early as the fourth century until the present day. The contributors to this volume, international specialists in Coptology from around the world, examine various aspects of Coptic civilization in the Upper Egyptian governorate of Sohag over the past seventeen hundred years. Many of the studies center on the person and legacy of the great Coptic saint, Shenoute the Archimandrite (348-466 CE), looking at his preserved writings, his life, his place in Pachomian monasticism, his relations with the patriarchs in Alexandria, and the life in his monastic system. Other studies deal with the art, architecture, and archaeology of the two great monasteries that he founded and the archaeological and artistic heritage of the region.

Hearer of the Word
"A contemporary classic, the best key to understanding Rahner's omnia opera, and the single best effort to show how the human spirit in the world can bear the word of the Spirit who enters human history". -- Andrew Tallon
Madness, Theocracy, and Anarchism
According to some of the most influential thinkers of the modern era, it is madness to subordinate all one's aims to one end. Such thinkers believe that the church in particular should limit itself to matters of religion, spirituality, and moral values, but in other areas of life submit itself to modern society. Madness, Theocracy, and Anarchism contends instead that the church should refuse to mind its assigned place or restrict its attention to a delimited sphere of activity.The mission, calling, and purpose of the church cannot rightly be thought of or treated as a function of any other social grouping, be it family, region, state, culture, race, or class. Its mission is to cultivate a new and distinct society to act both amidst the old and as a contrast to it, displaying the form of social life intended for all humankind in Christ. The church is thus called to a different understanding of politics having to do with the practices that order the common life and relations of a people, forming the members of this community to live according to this order and to embody these relations for the whole world.Barry Harvey examines those points where the church's practice of politics directly challenges the many ways Christians have put national and tribal loyalties ahead of our inclusion in the pilgrim people of God, and those places where the social activities, structures, and imaginative tales animating the Western world in the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries challenge the faithfulness of the Christian community. The analysis of the dominant social order is not to understand it for its own sake, but to spell out the context of the church's worship, collective life, and testimony.
The Politics of Islamic Ethics
Fundamental to Islamic thought is the idea that there is a way that human beings simply are, by nature or creation. This concept is called fiṭra. Rooting her investigation in the two central passages in the Qur'an and Hadith literature, where it is asserted that God created human beings in a certain way, the author moves beyond discussion of the usual figures who have commented on those texts to look instead at a group of classical Islamic philosophers rarely discussed in conjunction with ethical matters. Tracing the development of fiṭra through this overlooked strand of medieval thinking, von Doetinchem de Rande uses fiṭra as an entr矇e to wider topics in Islamic ethics. She shows that the notion of fiṭra articulated by al-Farabi, Ibn Bajja, Ibn Tufayl and Ibn Rushd highlights important issues about organizational hierachies of human nature. This, she argues, has major implications for contemporary political and legal debates.
Christian Faith and Christian Learning

The Zohar Aramaic, Volume 1
Zohar is a Hebrew word that means splendor. In its simplest form, the Zohar is a commentary on the Bible. Although the wisdom available in its pages is older than Creation itself, the text of the Zohar was composed approximately 2000 years ago. In the centuries that followed, the Zohar was often suppressed by religious and secular authorities who feared its power to transform the lives of those who gained access to the sacred writings. The sages of Kabbalah also realized that the Zohar must wait until humankind was ready to receive it. Michael Berg was the first person ever to translate the entire 23-volume Zohar from ancient Aramaic into English, a monumental task which he began at the age of 18 and finished ten years later. Through his translation we discover the Zohar deals very directly with concepts of reincarnation, visionary experiences, and the presence of unseen influences in our midst. Today we are able to accept these ideas that were once perceived as inexplicable mysticism or dangerous sorcery. We have the capacity to understand the Zohar's true teachings. This is a difficult experience to describe, but by bringing the Zohar into your life, you will discover its meaning for yourself and receive its soul.Volume 1 contains the Prolouge & Beresheet A.

Islamizing Europe
The Islamization of Europe has been in steady progress for decades and this fact is finally becoming undeniable both for native Europeans and the rest of the world. Hugh Fitzgerald has been patiently, yet forcefully, sounding the alarm on these developments for over twenty years in column after column written for Jihad Watch, which has been at the forefront of this issue since its inception. Fitzgerald writes with the cool voice of reason as he clearly and calmly lays out the case that unless this demographic catastrophe is reversed, Western Civilization in all its glory will fall. Twenty years ago, this prediction may have sounded extreme, even laughable, but no one is laughing now that the full horror of the situation is coming slowly into view, and the measures necessary to reverse it become ever more draconian. Unless European political leaders take steps to reverse this trend soon, civil wars may become inevitable in nations that have foolishly allowed the gradual demographic conquest of their lands and political infiltration of their institutions.

Thou Shalt Not Stand Idly By
This volume is a timely and powerful collection of Jewish dissent against Zionism and the impact of Israeli statehood on the indigenous Palestinian population. Bridging history, politics, theology, and conflict studies, this book traces a moral and intellectual tradition of resistance from within the global Jewish community-one rooted in values of justice, equality, and compassion. From early twentieth-century critics like Ahad Ha'am and Hannah Arendt to contemporary scholars, rabbis, journalists, and activists, the voices gathered here challenge the dominant narratives that conflate Judaism with Zionism.As violence escalates in Gaza and misinformation clouds public understanding, this book offers essential historical context and urgently needed counter-narratives. Through curated quotes, essays, and reflections, it documents how generations of Jews have spoken out-often at personal cost-against militarism, racism, and settler colonialism. In doing so, it reclaims an ethical tradition that links solidarity with Palestine with all struggles for justice throughout the world.This is an anti-war, anti-prejudice book for anyone seeking clarity amid polarization. In this unprecedented political moment, it is an essential resource for educators, activists, faith leaders, and all who value human rights. By amplifying voices of conscience, it deepens our understanding of Israel-Palestine relations and reminds us of the enduring power of moral dissent.
